THESE START-UPS RANGED IN SECTOR FOCUS FROM SUSTAINABLE AQUACULTURE AND SEAFOOD, TO OFFSHORE RENEWABLES. THE AQUARIUM'S ROLE IN THIS PROGRAM IS TO GUIDE START-UPS IN ADOPTING OCEAN-FRIENDLY PRACTICES AND METRICS, AID IN THE DILIGENCE PROCESS, AND TO SERVE AS THE FISCAL ADMINISTRATOR. -PANGEASEED FOUNDATION EXECUTED ITS BOSTON SEAWALLS "ARTIVISM" EXHIBITION, WHICH INCLUDED THE INSTALLATION OF AN ARRAY OF OCEAN-RELATED MURALS IN THE CITY OF BOSTON (PRIMARILY EAST BOSTON), AND SEVERAL OUTREACH EVENTS. AS PART OF THIS ACTIVATION, THE AQUARIUM WAS NAMED HONORARY CONSERVATION PARTNER, WHICH INCLUDED THE ADVISING OF ARTISTS AROUND OCEAN CONSERVATION-RELATED THEMES, AND SERVING AS HOST TO THE LARGEST MURAL INSTALLATION BY RENOWNED MURALIST SHEPARD FAIREY ON THE SIDE OF THE SIMON'S THEATRE.-THE UN DECADE OF OCEAN SCIENCE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT ENDORSED THE AQUARIUM'S MARINE CONSERVATION ACTION FUND'S (MCAF) GLOBAL PROJECT FOCUSED ON OCEAN CONSERVATION CAPACITY BUILDING IN LOW AND MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIES. THE PROJECT, RUN IN PARTNERSHIP WITH NINE MCAF FELLOWS AND GRANTEES ACROSS 13 COUNTRIES, AIMS TO SCALE UP SUPPORT OF LOCAL LEADERS TO HELP THEM DEVELOP CONSERVATION CAPACITY IN FISHERS, YOUTH, COMMUNITY MEMBERS, AND EMERGING LEADERS IN OCEAN CONSERVATION. THE UN OCEAN DECADE ENDORSEMENT AMPLIFIES THE CRITICAL WORK OF MCAF AND ITS GLOBAL COMMUNITY OF CONSERVATION LEADERS IN TRAINING AND MENTORING THE NEXT GENERATION OF OCEAN STEWARDS. -MCAF LAUNCHED AN EARLY CAREER OCEAN PROFESSIONALS (ECOP) MICRO-GRANTS PROGRAM. ECOP GRANTS ARE FOR RECENT UNIVERSITY GRADUATES, UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS, AND RISING COMMUNITY LEADERS WITH LIMITED OCEAN CONSERVATION EXPERIENCE. THE GOAL OF THE ECOP GRANTS IS TO PROMOTE CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT BY PROVIDING MUCH NEEDED ENTRY POINTS AND SUPPORTIVE PATHWAYS TO CAREERS IN OCEAN CONSERVATION IN LOW- AND MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIES AROUND THE GLOBE.-ANDERSON CABOT CENTER AND ADDITIONAL AQUARIUM STAFF PUBLISHED 40 TOTAL PEER-REVIEWED PAPERS/BOOK CHAPTERS IN SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS/BOOKS IN 2021. 695580 751298 EDUCATION AND RESCUE:THE NEW ENGLAND AQUARIUM HAS TWO DISTINCTIVE PROGRAMS WITH SEA TURTLES: WE RUN ONE OF THE LARGEST SEA TURTLE RESCUE OPERATIONS IN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES AND WE ARE PART OF A FIRST-RESPONDER NETWORK FOR LEATHERBACK SEA TURTLES THAT GET ENTANGLED IN FISHING LINES. BOTH OF THESE PROGRAMS HELP MAINTAIN SEA TURTLE POPULATIONS AND PRODUCE RESEARCH. -THE AQUARIUM'S SEA TURTLE HOSPITAL IN QUINCY, MASS., TREATED 569 RESCUED SEA TURTLES RECOVERED FROM BEACHES ALONG CAPE COD BAY DURING THE 20-2021 STRANDING SEASON. IN ADDITION TO ADMINISTERING TO CRITICALLY ENDANGERED KEMP'S RIDLEY TURTLES, OUR SEA TURTLE HOSPITAL TREATED LOGGERHEAD AND GREEN TURTLES SUFFERING FROM LIFE-THREATENING MEDICAL CONDITIONS, INCLUDING PNEUMONIA AND DEHYDRATION. THE HOSPITAL OPERATED AMID STRICT SOCIAL DISTANCING GUIDELINES, INSTITUTING NEW POPULATION MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES AND TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED CONDITIONS TO MORE EFFICIENTLY STABILIZE TURTLES BEFORE TRANSPORTING THEM TO SECONDARY FACILITIES WHERE THEY COULD BE RELEASED BACK INTO WARMER WATERS. THE AQUARIUM ALSO DIRECTLY COORDINATED FIVE SEPARATE TURTLE RELEASES ALONG CAPE COD BEACHES THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER.-SEVERAL MEMBERS FROM OUR ANIMAL HEALTH, RESCUE AND REHABILITATION, AND ACCOL TEAMS MADE HISTORY BY SURGICALLY IMPLANTING ACOUSTIC TAGS IN THREE REHABILITATED LOGGERHEAD SEA TURTLES. THE TAGS CAN BE TRACKED BY UNDERWATER RECEIVERS UP AND DOWN THE EAST COAST OF THE U.S. THIS NOVEL PROCEDURE WILL ENABLE OUR SCIENTISTS TO MONITOR REHABILITATED SEA TURTLES AND RECORD THEIR MIGRATORY PATTERNS AND PREFERRED FEEDING GROUNDS FOR UP TO A DECADE.-IN THE FALL, WE RESPONDED TO A NUMBER OF LEATHERBACK TURTLES ENTANGLED IN FISHING GEAR. WE TYPICALLY EVALUATED, DISENTANGLED, AND OUTFITTED THE TURTLES WITH ELECTRONIC TAGS THAT ALLOWED RESEARCHERS TO ASSESS SURVIVORSHIP OVER THE NEXT 30 DAYS AND TRACK MIGRATION PATTERNS. ADDITIONALLY, WE WERE CALLED IN WHEN A 600-LB. LIVE LEATHERBACK STRANDED ON A MUDFLAT IN WELLFLEET. RESCUE AND ANIMAL HEALTH STAFF FROM THE AQUARIUM CONDUCTED A HEALTH ASSESSMENT, ANALYZING A BLOOD SAMPLE TO ASSESS THE TURTLE'S HEALTH, AND GAVE THE TURTLE INJECTIONS OF VITAMINS AND A NONSTEROIDAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUG. WE PLACED SMALL IDENTIFICATION TAGSMICROCHIP AND METAL BAND ON THE TURTLE ALONG WITH ACOUSTIC AND SATELLITE TAGS. THE TURTLE WAS THEN RELEASED BACK INTO THE OCEAN. 4082811 126088 WE CONTINUED TO WORK WITH OUR PARTNERS AT BOSTON HARBOR CITY CRUISES ("BHCC") TO OFFER THE NEW ENGLAND AQUARIUM WHALE WATCH, OPERATED BY BHCC. THIS COMBINED EFFORT GENERATED INCREASED WHALE WATCH ATTENDANCE AND SIGNIFICANTLY EXPANDED THE REACH OF OUR WHALE CONSERVATION PROGRAMMING AND OUR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING, OVERALL.TOTAL OTHER COSTS REPRESENT THE REMAINING PROGRAM SERVICE EXPENSES PER PART IX THAT WERE NOT ATTRIBUTABLE TO EXHIBITION, RESEARCH, OR EDUCATION.
